Rare Gas Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity and Forecast, 2017-2027 Segmented By Type, By Application, By Mode of Transport, By Region

The global rare gas market was valued at USD340.26 million in 2021, and is anticipated to grow with an impressive CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2027. The market growth can be attributed to rising demands for rare gases across various end-user industries such as automotive and electrical, and surging demands for semiconductors. Besides, technological advances in the chemical industry are also supporting the growth of the global rare gas market. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook require tons of helium gas to meet the demand for storage devices in data centers. Rare gases like krypton are increasingly used in the lighting sector for halogen bulbs, gas discharge tubes in illuminated billboards, energy-saving bulbs, etc. The rising healthcare sector is also creating demand for rare gases such as argon, and helium for numerous applications, which is expected to contribute to the increasing demand for rare gases globally.

Helium, argon, neon, krypton, and xenon are among the group of inert elements. These are also commonly referred to as noble gases. Rare gases are often non-reactive in their native states because of their electrically stable structure. The atoms are neutral due to the arrangement of their electrons. Since there are extremely few concentrations of noble gases in the inner solar system, they are referred to as rare gases. The generation of noble gases or rare gases results from various nuclear transmutation processes, including the radioactive decay of naturally occurring radionuclides and energetic particle reactions.

Ukraine is the top exporter of rare gases such as neon, krypton, and xenon worldwide. The country fulfills 70% of the world's neon demands and 40% of the krypton demands. However, Ukraine and Russia war has drastically affected the supply chain of rare gases. Two major Ukrainian air-separation firms, Cryoin Engineering Ltd. and Ingas LLC had to shut down their operations due to the Russian invasion, halting a significant portion of the world's noble gas exports.

Additionally, 90% of the ultra-pure, semiconductor-grade neon used in the manufacturing of computer chips comes from Ukraine. The growth of the rare gas market is also influenced by the electrical sector's expansion and the rising demand for semiconductors to generate a variety of end-use goods.

The global rare gas market is segmented on the basis of type, application, mode of transport, regional distribution, and competitive landscape. Based on the mode of transport, the market divided into cylinder, tanker, and tonnage. The cylinder segment is expected to register the highest growth in the global rare gas market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing sales of rare gas cylinders as they are the preferred delivery methods for storing and transporting gases.

Key players operating in the global rare gas market are: Linde Plc., Air Liquide S.A., TAIYO NIPPON SANSO CORPORATION, smart-Gas PTE Ltd., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., INGAS LLC, Cryoin Engineering Ltd., The Messer Group GmbH, POSCO (Pohang Iron and Steel Company), among others.
